Pinecrest Bible Camp

We just arrived last night from our week long stay at Camp Pinecrest. Peter and I led the kidlets in worship this week, and let me tell you...it was amazing! First of all, it was nice to be able to sing again, and second, it was just so fun to be there and to hear little voices praising God. At first Peter and I were not so thrilled to be leading anything, and were a little hesitant to find out how Rocco would do "camping", but everything went better than expected. On our last night there, we had one last campfire and we sang all the songs the kids loved and it was amazing. Peter and I had already packed up our car so we could leave right after, so i just wanted to sing and go home (the farm). The campers were SO excited to sing and were doing all the actions and just having a blast, and let me tell you, that kind of feeling is contagious! I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. They were singing SO loud, I was afraid we would get in trouble but really i didn't care! I even got a little emotional thinking, i had to leave these awesome kids and some won't hear any of these songs until they come back next year....if they come back. All in all, camp was awesome! Rocco even started to walk there so now it is even more special to us! I'm glad our little family was able to do that and be an example to these kids.

And then on our way home we hit a deer and now we HAVE to get out car fixed before we can drive back to Manotoba. Oh boy.

Farm Life

We have been on the farm now for a bit over a week now and it has been great. Well, except for there being a shortage of water, and the internet not working most of the day, but things are going so well here. It seriously feels like we can finally relax after being in Edmonton for 2 months. Life was just a little more crazy up there for some reason. Peter is in a good mood every day, even if he has worked more than 8 hours, and I, as well as Rocco, have been in good moods. It certainly does feel like a second home and I am so thankful for that. Life is just simple and calm and I like it that way....for now. Rocco is being so funny and he is at the stage where he is copying things that you do and is so interactive now. I love being able to experience all those little things with him. He also LOVES being outside. Today he woke up from his nap, went straight to where his shoes were, tried to put them on and then waited by the door till someone would take him out. I was doing something, so it was grandma to the rescue and she took him to the swings. Rocco seriously loves being outside and I love it! I hope this continues till he is a teenager! Anyways, things are so good here, and i love that we have a few weeks to enjoy our time here!
